It all started with a vision.
Our founder, Daniel J. Hutchinson, was the first to address the growing challenge the additive manufacturing industry faced. While the industry was focused on the first two steps of printing: design and build, the third step – post-printing, was being overlooked. In more than 95 percent of cases, the printed parts have some type of supports that need to be removed and currently more than 60 percent need finishing. Daniel applied his years of experience interrogating radar systems, along with his multi-discipline background in engineering and additive manufacturing, to ‘interrogating’ 3D printed parts. He studied the additive manufacturing process from end-to-end, and saw the opportunity to transform labor-intensive manual post-printing through technology and automation.
